One person assumed on Facebook, “They’re definitely having problems. She wasn’t with him at the inauguration nor at the funeral…something is up.”
While another came to his wife’s defense, writing on X, “Michelle Obama’s mother died less than a year ago. The former first lady might still be grieving that loss.”
